Neigborly Problem, Need Advice
Location: Minnesota, USA
So i live in Minnesota in the city. Last summer, my next door neighbor who owns a duplex, got a metal roof put on his home. I'm pretty sure it was one of those fly by night crews that he chose because everyone around here was getting their roof replaced through insurance because of “hail damage”. Anyways, metal roof is pretty unique here, not a lot of residential properties in the city get them.
We are very close together, and i asked him multiple times if he is going to be getting snow retention stuff on the new metal roof when it's installed. He said yes. Long story sorry, he didn't. When the weather warms, anywhere from 1-10 pounds of snow comes sliding off from 25 ft up and lands on my driveway. It shakes the house it is so bad. I texted him December 2025, January this year and May this year, about how i was significantly concerned about the safety of my family, and also damage to a car. He said he'd fix it. He hasn't, now he basically tells me to kick rocks and to call his insurance if i have a problem, and his insurance also tells me there is nothing they can do.
So here's is my thing, I've gone down the codes and ordinances route, nothing can be done. It looks like i can file a civil suit and request an injunction, but that seems like a pain in the ass. Can i just park my car(2014 vehicle i don't give a shit about) in my driveway, and then when the snow falls file insurance claims against him for when my car inevitably gets messed up? I have the text messages and screenshots notifying him of the problem, so i would think it's negligence on his part at this point since we are going on our second winter now.
